I AM THRILLED TO TELL YOU THAT THE FIRST RECIPIENT OF A SCHOLARSHIP FROM THE 
ENDOWMENT FUND YOU ALL GAVE TO OXFORD-KINGSWOOD SCHOOL IN MY NAME, HAS BEEN 
CHOSEN!   AS YOU PROBABLY GUESSED I WOULD, I ASKED FOR THE FUNDS TO BE 
DESIGNATED TO THE ART DEPARTMENT FOR USE BY A STUDENT OR TEACHER TO FURTHER HIS/HER 
STUDY IN A CHOSEN FIELD.   I HAVE COUNTED ON THE FACULTY TO SUGGEST A STUDENT WHO 
COULD BENEFIT BY NEW EXPERIENCES THROUGH TRAVEL OR A STUDY COURSE.
          PAT ROSOFF IN THE ART DEPARTMENT IS MY CONTACT. SHE CHOSE ONE OF 
HER STUDENTS NAMED PATRICK CRONIN, WHO WILL BE A SENIOR NEXT YEAR, TO COME TO 
CHICAGO FOR A 2-WEEK COURSE AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE. PATRICK IS ON 
THE HONOR ROLL, IS A PREFECT, PLAYS VARSITY FOOTBALL AND LACROSSE AND LAST YEAR 
TOOK AP ENGLISH AND HONORS PAINTING.   PAT AND HER HUSBAND ARE ESCORTING HIM 
OUT TO CHICAGO ON JULY 17TH WHEN I WILL MEET THEM FOR LUNCH. I DON'T BELIEVE HE 
HAS EVER FLOWN ON AN AIRPLANE BEFORE. 
          THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO CONSISTS OF A MUSEUM AND A SCHOOL. 
LATELY THE REPUTATION OF THE SCHOOL HAS SOARED, AND IT NOW OWNS THREE BUILDINGS 
IN CHICAGO'S DOWNTOWN (THE LOOP) WHERE CLASSES ARE HELD.   THIS IS NOT EVEN 
MENTIONING THE DORMITORY IT HAS BUILT ON STATE STREET OR ITS OTHER RESIDENTIAL 
BUILDINGS. PAT AND HER HUSBAND WILL HELP PATRICK GET SETTLED WHEREVER HE IS 
LIVING FOR THE 2 WEEKS. I   DO NOT REALLY KNOW ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE SUMMER 
COURSES, BUT WILL TRY TO FIND OUT MORE.   I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, AND I WILL 
KEEP YOU POSTED.

LOVE, COURTNEY
